2017 Legacy Gala

From the Bottom of our Hearts

For the 7th year running, we were joined by the kind and generous Berks County community to celebrate the achievements of the students and adults at John Paul II Center. On March 25th, 700 people gathered to enjoy a night of fun, entertainment, and inspiration.

We are so blessed to receive the support that we do and because of such a giving community, we are able to do what we do and work toward fulfilling our mission each and every day. Because we can’t say “thank you” enough, perhaps we can show you how your generosity impacts our school every day….Take a look.

Our Mission

In a safe and nurturing Christian environment, John Paul II Center serves children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities by providing diversified programs. We acknowledge the dignity of all learners while challenging them on a daily basis to reach their God-given potential. Our mission is an expression of the Catholic Church's teaching on the sanctity of human life.
